By STEVE GALLUZZO Sports Editor

he start of the season is still a week away, but Palisades High football players are super excited about tomorrow afternoon’s scrimmage against El Camino Real and consider it more than Tjust a dress rehearsal. “It gives us a chance to run some plays, over some things and see where we are,” said varsity head coach Tim Hyde, who is entering his sixth season with the Dolphins. “With five less days of practice this year, any experience we can get before our first game is a plus.” Palisades returns only one starter on the offensive line, 285-pound senior TJ Michel, but physicality and a potent rushing attack have been the Dolphins’ trademarks in the Hyde era and opponents can expect more of the same this fall. The bevy of backs will include Max Palees, Xavier Whitfield, Kaalan Day, Kenny Cline, Tayari Gloster, Diago Pickens, Nick Carpenter and Adam Cravens—all juniors. Daniel Hayes is back at quarterback after passing for 1,426 yards and 14 touchdowns and running for 243 yards and five scores as a junior last season. His primary targets will be wideouts Jake Nadley, Will Jan- ney, Teddy Suisman, Jake Lyon and Cristian Popescu and junior tight end Noah Ghodooshim. “The thing we need most for Week One is more intensity and firem” said Ghodooshim, who saw action in five varsity games last year, making six catches for 49 yards. “My position involves a lot of motion, it’s a mixture of running, catching and blocking. Since the start of camp we’ve been breaking the offense down much easier, we’re much more confident in our rout running and our coach has made good decisions about who to put on the line. We have a lot of guys willing to play hard for all four quarters and that’s what it’s going to take.” Tommy Meek was the starting punter and kicker on junior varsity last year but steps up to varsity as a junior to replace Campbell Geddes, among the most highly rated kickers in the state last season. Anchoring the defense will be 6-foot, 225-pound middle linebacker Sy Riley, who racked up 82 tackles (32 solo, 50 assisted) and three sacks in 11 games as a sophomore last season. Up from JV are linebacker Will Clifford, cornerbacks Darion Robinson, Chandler Hooks and Jared La Junior linebacker Sy Riley will be a catalyst on defense.
